- Description: Claudio Piani considers himself fortunate to have been "born twice". The first time was on August 5, 1987, in Quarto Oggiaro, a suburban district of Milan, and the second was on August 6, 2014. That year, after resigning from his job, he decided to take a sabbatical year to reach Australia without using airplanes, traveling solely overland through Asia. Initially, he did not realize that this sabbatical year would turn into eight years of nomadic life

- Description: Dorothy May Pine graduated in nutrition from the University of Kansas, where she met Robert Eugene Pine, whom she married on 26 July 1942. Robert served as a naval aviator for 22 years, after which the couple retired to Boulder, Colorado in 1963 and began travelling together extensively. Dorothy became the first woman to visit all destinations defined by the Travelers' Century Club (TCC) - 192 countries and 123 territories, island groups and special destinations, totalling 315 locations - and the couple became the first in the world to do so together. In 2006 they were recognised by the Colorado Senate and Colorado House of Representatives as the world's most travelled couple. Dorothy Pine is considered likely the first woman in the world to have visited every country, though the claim is inherently difficult to verify for historical travellers

Delle varie tappe che caratterizzano il giro del mondo in barca a vela, il passaggio attraverso il Golfo di Aden è, di questi tempi, sicuramente una fra le più memorabili e cariche di emozioni. Ai soliti imprevisti e alle consuete incognite legate alla navigazione e alla meteo, vengono infatti ad aggiungersi i rischi di un attacco pirata, nonché il pericolo di venir coinvolti direttamente o indirettamente nei disordini e nelle stragi che interessano l’area compresa fra lo Yemen e la Somalia.
